This short article series is hopefully bringing some light to some cool “hole in the wall” places in the small town of Portsmouth, Ohio. Many of the students that attend Shawnee State University located in this river city are looking for things to do while they are spending their collegiate career here. Next on our list of places, is a newbie on the block…

Sloppy Seconds


"The perfect mix of Waffle House and Dick’s Last Resort" is how I usually try to describe this new late-night restaurant to my friends, but that still doesn’t give it due justice. Sloppy Seconds made its debut to Portsmouth on Aug. 5, and has been creating regular customers since day one.

As far as I am concerned, this place is the bomb. Located on Chillicothe street, it's right in the heart of downtown Portsmouth and is soon to be a new local favorite. The major draw to this new hangout spot is a combination of things:

1. The hilarious owners who will banter with you the moment you walk in.

This is where the idea of Dick’s Last Resort comes to my mind. The owners all work full-time jobs, so when they get to SS’s, they are not going to put up with anyone’s bull shit, which makes for a good time! They will joke around with you, and make sure you have fun while there. You can see their sense of humor from the second you walk up to the place with the hashtag “#dontbeadick” written on the back of their shirts. This is the golden rule. The menu is full of similar humor in the item names, such as “The Sloppy F.U.Q.”.

2. The unique hours (open 10:30 p.m.-5 a.m.)

This was my favorite part (until I had the food, because, damn it’s good). This is every colleges students dream, to have a restaurant open late night every night of the week for you to go and enjoy. Drunk? Go to Sloppy Seconds. Can't sleep? Go to Sloppy Seconds. Got off work late? Go to Sloppy Seconds. The point is…go to Sloppy Seconds. Take advantage of this place that is picking up Portsmouth’s late nightcrowd!

3. The BOMB-ass food (which is cheap af, too!)

Literally, it’s so good. Baked Spaghetti sliders, breakfast food galore, big-ass pickles, and so much more. I personally love to eat breakfast food in the middle of the night, so that is my absolute most favorite thing about this place. That’s where the Waffle House reference comes in, exactly what you need, exactly when you want it! And to make it even better, it is so cheap! It won’t break your bank account to go grab a bite to eat at this place!

4. Beer on-tap (for those of age)

Come on now, damn good food AND BEER? Can’t beat that.

5. And an awesome atmosphere.

They have created a place where all age groups, and personality types are bound to fit in. Arcade areas, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros tournaments, Pool table, chalk board walks, and more. The owners took the time to make the place have a super chill feel to it, while also having fun things to do while you are eating, and just hanging out.

I have been to this place as many times as I can since it’s opened. Its truly something you have to experience to get the full picture of it. For those of you needing a late night place to make your taste buds tingle and get your friends to mingle, head out to sloppy seconds and enjoy! You will not be disappointed in this place!


(NOTE: No one asked me to write this, I'm literally just in love with this place.)

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
